Great Cities

Visit Ancient Rome

This is where Kumiko and I met in January 2000 and had our version of the movie "Roman Holiday". And, as predicted, we went back in June of 2001. However, we had done all the sightseeing we wanted to do during our previous visit, so we simply revisited the places where we had spent our first few hours together. Like the Colloseum - though this time we were wearing shorts instead of jackets.

And the Spanish Steps - though there was certainly more people in June than in January. See if you can pick Kumiko out of all the other tourists (hint: she's standing just to the right of the center of the photo, wearing a white hat).

We also had dinner one evening with my friend, Lia. She's from Romania, but was living and working in Rome with her fiancé.
